"even her BAD side" looks better than my good side - tehehe

[@chrystalthornton1502]

Your bad side is a good side for me. I'm transitioning (4 months) and I'm still amazed I have big curly hair after years of thinking it was straight.

[@muraga78]

Thanks so much Mell! After 40 years walking on this planet and hating my curly hair,you made me like and fall in love with my hair for the first time in my life. In this last 2 weeks since discovering your channel and following your tutorials,I can say that my hair looks bomb.com. And I realized that I wasted so much time and energy to straighten my hair,when in reality I had my pot of gold in top of my head. Ps...hi seester!!

[@ManesByMell]

these are the comments that keep me going. I am so happy that my seester and I have helped you in such little time. We would like to welcome you to the channel and thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the support ❤️

[@crystalcounterman4274]

Girl, I watch your videos and feel like I'm coming to class completely unprepared. After about 2 minutes in I'm scrambling for a notebook and pen. I didnt know there was so much I needed to know. You are a Godsend!! Thank you!!

[@naturally.andrys]

Why do I love the left side too? That’s how my hair looks all the time 🤣 the bigger the better!!!!

[@mykalacastille2617]

I’ve always doubted my hair but Mell spoke to me “fine hair” “curls frizz apart easily” and “fall flat” 😭😭😭 I watch these videos on repeat and I’m getting close to the perfect hair day

[@deefhead8440]

Same!! I can’t wait to watch this video because I have all of those problems

[@erickalewis7284]

Girl you just taught a black girl how to do her hair . Thank you this has helped me so much.

[@mamaT.111]

Who knew all I had to do was use ✨more✨ product to make my curls pop?? I thought more would just weigh my hair down... 23 years into this life and I’m just figuring this out lol ugh... Shoutout to Mell for saving my curls 🥳🤩

[@loridupuy6149]

The "don't" side aint all that bad MELL!!! LOL

[@skael1258]

Even her "bad" Side looks better than my efforts. I'd be happy with the bad side

[@Juniperus_Godegara]

Mell is SO engaging! It's her personality. I've watched it through and don't even have curly hair..😅

[@tequilashots875]

I like watching her and she doesn’t have my hair type at all.

[@DeziDoesIt]

Whew Lord I am overwhelmed 😂 you should do virtual 1 on 1 styling sessions because I would definitely sign up for a class!

[@wendysue4066]

Even your "bad" side looks good!😂 Thank you for this. I am always afraid I'm going to use too much product, and usually fall short.

[@veronicaglover2322]

Am I wrong for loving the "don't " side? All of that volume!

[@User-winter999]

VERONICA GLOVER I thought I was the only one it looks so much better to me!!

[@S1mpronia]

+VERONICA GLOVER Some people prefer volume, some people definition. Mostly, if your hair is healthy, go for what you want! IndiaBatson is a curly haired influencer who prefers volume over definition. She definitely likes definition, but volume is mostly her goal.

[@kat118]

VERONICA GLOVER no! That’s the side I need. I don’t understand why people like big curly hair, I want flat curls.

[@goldmist_1216]

@@kat118 Because the don't side will be very frizzy and will damage your hair. It will have more knots and prone to breakage when detangling the hair. Also it is hard to manage. Idk if you can get the look after doing the things you need to do for hair.

[@Dwynfal]

I love both sides but I also know that the "don't" side will look like a frizzy mess on day 2. I try to start with the "do" side on day 1 and make it to day 5-6 before the frizzy mess hits... The operative word in that sentence is "try"... It doesn't always happen 😕

My sister walked in on me watching this and goes... "Is that Shakira?" haha

[@tanvi-_-2881]

Am I the only one who thinks the left side looks good as well?

[@aaliyahxbeauty]

I think it looks better because of the volume

[@kimberlyobrien2234]

I love your videos. No offense to the other youtubers but you're the first one that I find that isn't self absorbed annoying. You give the best tips not because you want the game but because you are so passionate about curly hair! You're doing a great job keep it up!

[@maryclubb2418]

I have very heavy, very coarse, wavy-curly hair (2c-3a). Once I rinse out my conditioner, I absolutely cannot pull my curls in any way or else they stretch out too much and frizz up. I know "just scrunching" in product is supposed to be "bad" now, but it's literally the only thing that works for me. I can't use praying hands, raking, or finger coiling. Instead I kind of pat the product all over my head, and scrunch away. Do's and don'ts of curly hair are helpful, don't get me wrong, but I really think it's all about finding what works best for YOU. If you're trying a method that is supposed to be a "do" and it's not working or you don't like the result, do it how you think looks best! As long as you're taking care of your hair's health, you do you boo boo!

[@iwillsinganewsong]

I kinda Love the big and fluffy “wrong” side more 💁‍♀️😁

[@jellybeanjones2822]

I like the frizzy side the only thing is that theres two harsh layers n thats what looks wild...

[@carmy_v]

Another great curly hair tutorial, Mel. I have the same hair type as yours. I was lazy today and got my hair to look like a nest. The birds were ready to swoop in on it 🤣

Honestly, your videos have helped me sooo much. I got in a car accident and broke the bones in my wrist on my dominant hand.

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. I got my curly textured hair from my momma and I was never taught the right things to do with my hair.

Now I’ve discovered a few things here & their such as product, washing, and brushing. Then, I literally KZbind styling curly hair & I discovered your channel. I’m so happy for getting all my questions answered & I’ll start doing your advice 😊😊 Thank you 🙏🏼
